AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in the FRESHFACE Custom CSS plugin is a Missing Authorization flaw that allows exploitation of incorrectly configured access control levels. An attacker can use the plugin’s CSS editing functionality without proper authentication or authorization checks. This can lead to unauthorized modifications of the site’s appearance by changing CSS styles, thereby compromising the site’s integrity and trustworthiness.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the FRESHFACE Custom CSS plugin for WordPress. All installations of version 1.4.0 or earlier are vulnerable. No other vendors or products are implicated.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates a moderate severity, while the EPSS score of < 1% reflects a very low likelihood of exploitation at the time of analysis. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a web-based attack where an authenticated WordPress user, possibly with minimal privileges, can access the plugin’s features and perform unauthorized modifications. Based on the description, this results in unauthorized changes to the site's CSS, potentially impacting the site’s appearance and user trust.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Custom CSS plugin to a version later than 1.4.0 to apply the authorization fix issued by the vendor.
  • If a newer version is unavailable or updating immediately is not possible, deactivate or remove the Custom CSS plugin from the WordPress installation until a patch can be applied.
  • Restrict the availability of the plugin’s editing functionality by enforcing stricter role permissions or by using an additional access control plugin, ensuring that only administrators or explicitly authorized users can access the CSS editor before the official patch is applied.
